Stop.

I looked at make's manpage on netbsd-6, and don't see :tA documented.
Look again. It was added in 1.170, which is much older than netbsd-6.
There's no dependency on a new-enough nbmake, which would seem to be
necessary. As a result this breaks pkgsrc on netbsd-5, which while
technically no longer supported, is not really that crufty.
make versioning is not that useful. We don't support NetBSD before 6.0
without bootstrap.
